Honestly I don't think it was that bad. If it was anyone else, I doubt anyone would have noticed. To me, it looked like as soon as the ref touched his arms, he let go in less than a second. Was a little "iffy", but I've seen worse from other fighters, and certainly from Paulharris.

Yeeeeeah, Yves is forced to break the hold, this guy's a career killer in the waiting. He hasn't learned and WSOF commentary didn't bring it up but actually said he released immediately. FUCK PALHARES.

Not as bad as pierce but the ref still had to break the goddamn sub, that's pathetic

When the dude has been CUT from the UFC for excessively holding submissions in numerous fights and has been officially suspended and reprimanded for holding submissions in the past, he should acknowledge that he has learned from his past mistakes and release once the blatant tap occurred. Palhares is a scumbag who hasn't learned from his previous disciplines and tonight showed me no different, he's going to cripple somebody one of these times.

Sure, it was of a lesser-degree than some of his more violent holds, but once a guy taps, and a visible tap like that one, you let go, the end result of him holding on a fraction too long is still devastating to his opponent, and the GIF shows, Yves has to break the sub.
